they are these hard foam logs, you lay on it with it going across your lower back, knees bent and feet flat, then roll back and forth like you were trying to flatten dough. http://www.stack.com/2012/02/22/redu...ur-lower-back/
First comes the Jurgens, then the Splurgens. Happy Birthday.

Sciatica can be caused by many things though, this is just my example.
Same boat here too. I've gotten relief from laying on my back and pulling my knees to my chest one at a time and pulling my heel as far up to my head as possible. Stretching has to be consistent or pain creeps right back.

Yeah, that's one of the stretches I do, and the other one is this one:
It's called the pigeon pose

I had that shit so bad on my left side after my surgeries. The only way that it went away was to go to physical therapy, and STRETCH the fuck out of it. Stretch Stretch Stretch. I still stretch for about 15mins a day to keep it away. I can feel it coming on if i miss a couple days of good stretching.
